As a programmer for 32 years, I gave up on trying to use the Bonito
software with USB to serial converter. The problem is that they
use direct access to the serial port to query it rather than using the
Windows APIs. To bad for them they chose a 1980's solution and lose
customers that would use there product but cant because of lousy
programming practices on their part.
